Yeah, I had no problems understanding that either. Nothing to see here, move along...

They are standing.
Not sure I understand please explain.
I think he means they should be pulled down
Sounds like it but I would like to hear his answer. Tearing down all the buildings would not get rid of the church, the churh is the body of people whom worship within the building. To get rid of the church they would have to kill all the christians. Rome could not do it I do not know why anyone else thinks it's possible.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

From a secular standpoint GC the vernacular of Churh is more commonly the building religous people meet in, not the church (as is the common vernacular in Christianity) that we understand to be the gathering of like minded individuals (wherever that may be).
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
